@QPaysTaxes ... and I very well understood that phrase (btw: it is not exactly a rethorical question, but serves are a reference to a former conversation). Read my comment in the whole context: me recommending to check settings and you insisting they were not the problem. A good start when searching for such bugs is 1) to read the message 2) examine what changed. I'd check where the shell is installed in both environments. Sounds like the tool-paths are not updated for an existing project.

@AaronHall Now that I think about it, @PetterFriberg would be a nice person to ask about this, particularly in the context of Queen's Heat Detector (see SOBotics). We've had quite some discussions and debates over this a few months ago.

As a mod who regularly handles flags, I don't like seeing "gee thanks" being flagged as Not Constructive. Flag it as "too chatty" and a mod will get it. But I'm a bit stuck on process, and an improper NC flag will make me decline the flag and then flag it properly.

@AaronHall I seem to remember some kind of statement from some kind of floaty head which said, "first there was only one comment flag, then we added others to guide users" or something like that. This may be what gunr is thinking about

@AaronHall If at all possible we'd need to know some of those inner workings to flag appropriately (like we do with garbage posts)

@AaronHall I disagree. I do understand that comments like "thank you a lot" are too chatty, but they are not constructive as well. I have 2600+ helpful comment flags and most of them are not constructive on comments like these. IMHO, if a comment can be flagged using two flags which are completely correct on the comment (like NC is correct on a thanks comment), either of them are correct and should be marked helpful.

@FelixSFD not resource request IMO. Might be TB (I'm not voting for that though). It does have some answers which actually provide code instead of a link to a tool or something. Though as I'm not experienced in those tags I can't be sure

that doesn't necessarily mean it's resource request. If it can be edited to become better, that'll be preferred. Even I use to think the same, but then even I was pointed out. Hold on, lemme see if I can find that transcript

@AshishAhuja He doesn't say to flag "thank you" - he does say to flag things that "add 0 value to the discussion" - this is a phrase with strong negative connotations as well. If you want your flags accepted by me, you'll flag "thank-yous" and other complimentary comments as "too chatty" and use "Not constructive" for negatively toned statements that don't add value and that aren't clearly "Rude."

@AaronHall I once flagged a 'thank you' as too chatty and it was declined. I don't remember which site it was, it wasn't SO, but it was a populated site and since then I'm not sure if I should flag them or not.

@gunr2171 same. @AaronHall what your telling some of us is news. I think there needs to be a featured meta post on that. As far as I'm concerned as an active user on the site. If my NC flags start to be declined I wouldn't be happy. It's like we're punished for doing what we think is the right thing and that really is not the way to approach it as a mod. I think you need to educate the community first.

@AaronHall I still disagree. I digged up some more into meta posts to see if I was wrong, and it turns out I'm not (do note that I'm not saying the TC comments are wrong, just saying the NC should not be decline on thank you comments). I found a post which is for "thank you" comments, and another SO mod replies that he is fine with both the TC and NC comments. Are you saying that this is wrong?

Also, could you provide me a meta post or some kind of reference supporting what you're saying?

@YvetteColomb The answer, as written, doesn't make it clear that the linked content was written by the same person as the answer. It makes it clear only that a solution, reproduced in part in the answer, is available there.

That would be plenty if the content wasn't his. Since it (most likely) is, there needs to be an explicit note that it's written by him, rather than something that I interpreted at first as meaning "I came across the solution here"

@QPaysTaxes ok I edited the post. As the OP has poor English skills and after all, it's a blog, not asking for money at this point. They signed up 27 days ago, so took a while to post. They may end up a valuable contributor

another thing @Qpa the blog entry is really only used as a code sample developandroidskills.blogspot.com.au/2017/02/… written today. So the Op went off and solved it and came back with a link of the full code. I honestly think they're ok. I'm really hard on spammers.

@YvetteColomb The point isn't that it's almost nothing. The point is that it's to their blog, and they didn't say anything. If they just wanted to provide a code sample, they'd have used Pastebin or the Java equivalent of coliru (if there is one).

@QPaysTaxes Citing strictly from the flag-reason for NAA: "This was posted as an answer, but it does not attempt to answer the question. It should possibly be an edit, a comment, another question, or deleted altogether." - To me it is a comment -> NAA
